The Public Works Authority (Ashghal), in co-ordination with the Supreme Judiciary Council, Monday announced the launch of a design competition for new buildings for eight courts.
The competition covers the projects of Court Complex and the Court of Cassation, in line with Ashghal’s plan to continue its projects as part of Qatar National Vision 2030.
An official statement from Ashghal said that the Court of Cassation project is across a 50,000sq m area in Wadi Al Sail while the Court Complex in Wadi Al Banat is on 100,000sq m to include seven courts. These are the Criminal Court, Family Court, Traffic Court, Investment and Trade Court, Civil and Court of First Instance along with the Enforcement Court.
Engineer Jaralla Mohamed al-Marri, director of Buildings Projects Department, said the project to establish for new buildings for the courts would bring them under the same roof, supporting the litigation proceedings.
“The project will also serve the justice system by providing modern means and systems of litigation that shorten the time of case handling, as well as providing rooms equipped with all the technologies,” al-Marri said.
Supreme Judiciary Council representative engineer Fatma al-Meer said that the design tender of the competition launched by Ashghal was a first of its kind aimed at obtaining the best architectural idea that meets the functional purposes of all the needs of the new courts.
